Are You Ready for The 2nd Leg Higher in the TSX Venture in 2018?

Looking at the TSX Venture Chart above it appears the Venture peaked in 2011 and bottomed in 2016. Since the summer of 2016 the Venture has consolidated that first move for over 18 months. It appears that we could be starting the next leg higher with this break of 850. We are also moving into a very favorable time period where rallies occur between January and March. If you want to take advantage of a new year tax loss bounce you should buy a handful of really quality juniors which are still cheap.

For many months now I have related to my subscribers that the pro capitalist movement in Chile was growing stronger and that a rally could begin in the Chilean junior miners as the country turns more pro-busines. I highlighted for close to a year now that maybe Argentina was getting a bit overpriced and we should look at Chile for the critical lithium supplies.

He won more votes than any other president indicating the people of Chile want the economy to rebound.

Uranium Market Bottoming Five Years After Fukushima as World Heats Up From Carbon Emissions

We should invest in this forgotten sector when it is dirt cheap and in the midst of a bust as the long term forecast for nuclear is very strong. Climate change and global warming concerns will not go away and I believe America will continue to build and update its nuclear fleet over the next 5-10 years. Investors may wise up to this soon that nuclear is not on its way out, but waiting for a new beginning. The next nuclear renaissance will be with next generation small modular reactors in the battle to fight climate change.

Jeb Handwerger: “Early innings of a great lithium-ion battery boom”

Don't buy things that are trending on Twitter or the front page of USA Today, warns Gold Stock Trades publisher Jeb Handwerger. Buy them when they are unloved and on the back page.

Junior Uranium Mining Breakout in Second Half of 2015?

The big story over the second half of 2015 could be the junior uranium mining breakout, which I expected could be accelerated by moves from emerging economies such as China and India. The recent deal between Canada's Cameco and India could be the catalyst as highlighted in my previous article. I was quoted in Marketwatch and The Daily Reckoning stating my beliefs that large gains could be made in the nuclear energy sector. Keep an eye on this junior which may just be breaking out.
